Shen Daochen no longer knew how to describe his feelings.

The images I had imagined vanished in the blink of an eye within a few breaths.

They did not become father and daughter again, there was no forgiveness, and no pleading with the ancestors on his behalf.

She didn't even glance at him twice; he was no different from before.

It was as if the last connection between them had been severed, and from now on, he would have no reason to appear in front of Shen Sangruo.

He desperately wanted to catch up with Shen Sangruo and ask her why she was so cruel to him, refusing to forgive him even after regaining her affections.

But the Heavenly Oath within him forbade him to do so.

He could only stand there, looking lost and forlorn.

She looked just like Shen Sangruo when she was kicked out of her coming-of-age ceremony and stood helplessly outside the ceremony.

The minor incident, which wasn't really a side story, ended. After all, not much time was wasted on Shen Daochen. Once Shen Sangruo had arranged the first line of defense, she went to discuss strategies with the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

“Let a few of us go first,” Zhu Yu said, and the other five divine beasts nodded in agreement.

"It'll be good to test the strength of those evil cultivators. I want to see just how capable they are," Qi Yan said disdainfully.

After fighting those evil cultivators from the transitional realm, he didn't find them to be particularly powerful.

The five divine beasts adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master's predictions. Apart from the fact that the evil creature was indeed difficult to deal with, those evil cultivators were, after all, mortals and could not escape their judgment formation.

As the five divine beasts that protect the cultivation world, killing a group of evil cultivators would be relatively easy for them.

“We have set up layers of judgment formations around the passage. We are just waiting for them to come over so we can catch them like turtles in a jar. Whether those evil cultivators can even land is another matter.” Bai Yi snapped his fingers one after another.

Unless those evil cultivators can reverse the rules of heaven and earth, they cannot escape the judgment and extermination of their formation.

If those evil cultivators are that powerful, wouldn't they be near-gods?

Becoming a god isn't that easy.

"Don't be nervous, we're still here. We'll stand at the forefront of protecting the cultivation world," Qing Shu reassured everyone.

Xuan Ye nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

“You must also be careful, be careful of that strange gas.” Shen Sangruo looked at the group. “They developed this gas against you ten thousand years ago, and they are very likely to use the same trick again in the future.”

The judgment formation of the five divine beasts is also information known to those evil cultivators. In order to occupy the cultivation world, they will definitely make a fuss about it.

“Although my flames can clear away most of the strange gas, after ten thousand years, it’s unknown whether they have upgraded and strengthened that strange gas. In any case, you should be careful.” She frowned slightly.

Everything is proceeding according to the trajectory predicted by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master. It is very likely that Qi Yan and the others' judgment formation will not be able to completely annihilate that group of evil cultivators.

Even Shen Sangruo couldn't help but feel uneasy as the battle approached.

"The second line of defense consists of this Immortal Lord, Qingluan, Wuwei, and other cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of the Nascent Soul realm," Immortal Lord Changli said.

“The cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm are on the third line of defense. Sang Ruo, this line of defense is now in your hands.”

Gu Ci Zhenjun said in a deep voice, "You are the most important person in the third line of defense. Your summoning spell may be the key to turning the tide of the battle."

The news that she had mastered summoning magic had become widely known, and everyone believed that this was the change in the ending that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master saw before his death.

Therefore, the most important task for cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm is to protect Shen Sangri.

The hopes of the entire cultivation world rested on her shoulders, and they were somewhat worried about her condition.

But as it turned out, their worries were unnecessary. She calmly replied, "I understand."

"Don't take any risks. You just need to summon the people from the Transitional Realm to fight from the rear. Leave the front to us," Immortal Lord Changli earnestly instructed.

This arrangement will put his mind at ease.

His apprentices were all in the rear, where they were much safer.

When Ye Huai and his group suffered various severe blows back then, he had not yet perished.

He simply couldn't bear to see his apprentices get hurt any longer.

"And isn't there a power limit in the transitional realm? Evil cultivators who surpass the Nascent Soul stage won't stay in the cultivation world for too long," someone said.

Mingxi pursed her lips. She used to think so too, but after hearing the news that Chen Sangruo brought back from the Transitional Realm, it seemed that the matter was not so absolute.

"Not necessarily. They already used methods to circumvent the rules of the transitional realm back then, and they may very well do the same when they conquer the cultivation world this time."

"And even if they can't evade the rules, they still have three months to stay in the cultivation world."

Three months is enough time for those heretical practitioners to do a lot.

That predetermined ending also points to this possibility.

As everyone was discussing, Ye Huai and the younger generation from other sects arrived.

"We have already established the material transportation chain. We personally oversaw the construction of each link, and there will be no mistakes."

"Seniors and Sang Ruo can fight on the front lines without worrying about the rear. Spirit stones, magic weapons, and pills will be guaranteed to be supplied."

Everything is already in its initial stages; it just needs further refinement before we can begin destroying the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers in half a month.

As the days passed, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators practiced their combat coordination day after day, while the other cultivators did their best to prepare various supplies and replenish the transportation chain.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the agreed-upon day arrived to take action against the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers.

On this day, the entire cultivation world was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

But apart from the people at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion that day, most people in the cultivation world were unaware of the inevitable end for the cultivation world.

Tense, but not solemn.

You can also hear a lot of cultivators talking behind you.

“These evil cultivators are truly despicable. With all five divine beasts present this time, and Sect Master Shen’s summoning technique capable of summoning seniors from the Transcendent Realm, we will surely be able to annihilate them all.”

"I only hope that this time we can eradicate them all at once. The cultivation world has suffered from evil cultivators for too long."

"If only we could destroy the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers directly, it would be great, but unfortunately it takes too long to destroy them."

But the scene at the front was quite different.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flowers have been brought to the front lines and are placed at the edge of the open space in the center.

Zhu Yu and his group of five surrounded the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers, while Immortal Lord Changli and the others watched from a short distance behind them, and Shen Sangruo was even further away.

Many people were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

At this moment, no one speaks; everything is understood without words.

Zhu Yu and the other four exchanged glances, gathered spiritual power in their hands, their eyes sharp, and launched a full-scale attack on the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers.

The shockwave from the attack could be clearly felt even by Shen Sangruo, who was far away.
